Thank you for your kind thoughts @rosemarya . Still no news of when the TIps might be scheduled as there is still a covid surge here in Hong Kong so all elective surgery has been postponed. Hopefully we will hear when we have a follow up with the liver specialist end March. He did have his 6-week paracenteses on March 3 - 15 litres! The current issue is that he also has inguinal hernia which bothers him a good deal but we understand that that cannot be fixed until his ascites is minimized. I am doing fine as hubby doesn't need much help from me other than morale support and making sure he eats right. He has a very positive attitude, independent and never complains. I am lucky to have the support of my family and we speak daily even though they live in other countries. Currently we have covid restritions so friends are not socializing but we keep in toucb on calls and zoom. I also have a passion for walking and Hong Kong has beautiful mountain and harbourfront hikes at our doorstep (see photos). I aim at 10km-12km a day and also do meditation on my walks.. Rest assured I will reach out if I need Connect suport. Thank you again sinerely!
